Jeez, the photo gives a perfect demonstration of how to totally f'ck the lead on an adaptor/hair drier/etc by tightly bending it double at the strain relief.
I use the foam block solution suggested elsewhere on thread.
It is - when every lead of pretty much every brand new appliance that passes through my hands has one in the packaging. And they all go straight into the bin. Only two today...
Ah, Amazon's "sign in" pop-up had perfectly covered the "pack of 10"
Yep this is the one i'll go for, not perfect but will keep things nice and tidy in the bag so many thanks Mr/Mrs harman, and many thanks to everyone else who posted their thoughts.

I kept some of the plastic plug protectors that come with new kit for this.
This!
Find an old mains plug from which all the metal bits can be removed. Once removed, reassemble it and use that empty plug as a socket.
You could buy a multi country charger where the appropriate mains plug adaptor slides and clips into the charger body, the pins on the loose adaptor might be less likely to pierce the bag.
